Overtime disappointment against Dynamo again

11 November 2026

SKA conceded their second overtime defeat of the campaign to Dynamo Moscow this evening, suffering a 1:2 home loss.

In what turned out to be a somewhat cautious, even dull affair, one poor error in the extra frame proved decisive.

Following a goalless and rather uneventful first period, the sides traded powerplay goals in the second.

Former SKA defenseman Igor Ozhiganov opened the scoring with an unstoppable slap shot, before Vasily Atanasov completed a flowing passing play with a mere 32 seconds remaining on the clock.

Both teams then wasted a handful of golden opportunities in the ensuing third stanza.

Daniil Davydov somehow blazed wide of the gaping net for Dynamo, while Nikita Dishkovsky was denied by a superb sprawling save by familiar face Vladislav Podyapolsky at point-blank range.

That miss did unfortunately prove crucial, as Yegor Rimashevsky pounced on a sloppy mistake to lash home over Sergei Ivanov in the first minute of overtime.

SKA will now prepare to host Dinamo Minsk in Saint Petersburg on Friday. Puck-drop is scheduled for 19:30 local time.
